Day +205

Alicia is feeling a lot better today. The only problem she had today is with her Potassium. It has been very low. Normal range is between 3.3 to 4.6 and Alicia's was down to 2.1. After 4 IV bolus's and two oral yesterday and 2 IV and one oral today they finally got her count up to 3.5. I just hope it stays that way. I asked them what effects could come from it being low and they told me problems with her heart. She has not had a fever since Friday morning and so far all of her cultures have been negative. The docs told me it could take up to two weeks for any growth so I am still holding my breath. Her Wbc was down today to 14.7, this is still slightly high but far better from 38 Thursday night. This tells me that the antibiotics are working and what ever bacteria or infection she has is under control.


Her attitude is a lot better also. All off the nurse's can not believe how nice she is being. If you remember when she was inpatient for so long after transplant she was so mean to them and give them really bad looks so they are all stopping by her room and soaking up the kindness while it lasts. She did have one episode earlier though. I had went across the street to get some clothes and Bubba, her doll, and when I was walking back in her Nurse was waving at me to hurry. When I got in her room Alicia had her shoes and mask on once again and was pushing her pole out the door. I could hear her saying "I can not see mee-ma, I go find my mee-ma" The nurse said she was not taking No for an answer. The mistake I made was leaving her while she was asleep. I guess now I will have to wake her up and let her know I will be right back LOL.


You will not believe the comments I get on her baby Bubba. Everyone says he looks so real. One lady even stopped me while Alicia was pushing him in her stroller to tell me he was about to fall out. When she realized he was not real she just laughed. On the way up in the elevator a man did a double take and said "O my I thought that was a real baby. I was even holding him by his leg LOL. I had a friend with me and we decided it would be soooo funny if next time I would act like I was breast feeding him so I am going to try it LOL. Here are some pics I took earlier today.
